i have always liked the blue coloured SV's and am very close to buying one from a dealer. the problem is, there is three colour blues that suzuki released between 2005 and 2007.

YC2 - Candy Grand Blue
YHJ - Candy Napolean Blue
YKY - Pearl Vigor Blue

imy favourite colour is candy grand blue (deep blue, amost purpley) with my least favourite being candy napolean blue (very light, teal almost greeny colour). i have contacted a dealer and like the colour blue, but when i emailed him he stated the colour was candy napolean. but it dosent look anything like it?! could he be wrong, could the light be causing it to look different or what?! i dont like the look of the candy napolean blue, its too light for me, so want to be sure before i buy.

The first bike is actually candy napolean blue, the second bike is the one i am looking at (I was told its candy napolean blue but it looks completely different colour) and the third is candy grand blue (colour i want). is it lighting playing with my head here or what? help please!
help please!

nice bikes lads! so there all the colour blues that Suzuki do (why, i dont know. could they not have picked one and stuck with it? having 5 or 6 blues is ridiculous).

so with these being all the blues, which colour blue is the one in the second pic?????

what year is the bike you are actually looking to buy?

you could ask the dealer to look inside the service book and give you the code. yes the light might be playing tricks and will look completely different out in the sun as most paint/dyes do.

Has the dealer given you the 3 character colour code?

I have a 2005 YC2 (Candy Grand Blue), and the tail section of the bike in the second of your attachments looks too light to be YC2.

Edit: Could just be the light bouncing off the coloured walls or anything though... the code is the simple way to check.

its a 2006. i already asked the dealer and he said it was candy napolean blue. it just looks a lot different in colour to the first pic. im not a huge fan of this colour for myself, so want to be sure to be sure. dont want to buy it now, looking a deeper blue, only to get it out on the road and realise its the lighter blue i didnt want!

well it's candy napolean blue. must be the lighting in the showroom.

just ahd a wee chuckle to myself when you said 'to be sure to be sure' as i actually read that part in an Irish accent then realised you are most probably Irish. lol.. soz m8.

Join the slightly colourblind among us and then a blue one is a blue one and be done with it :D
